not mine, save this strider cab!.

I am close but not close enough for all three. Going over the pass this time of year with small trailler wouldnt be wise. Love to have that out Run game. I had finished all pathes when I was a kid.
 
Strider is a great game. I miss the one I had. It was just beautiful. My kids still bring it up once in a while too so I know it made an impression on them. I'd be tempted to grab those myself if a) they were closer, b) they came down to $50 each, c) I had room, d) I didn't have to many projects already, e) I hadn't already promised myself I'd try really really hard not to get any more games this year, f) if I don't stop thinking about it then I may go do it anyway so never mind....
 
Man, the Strider PCB alone (if it's working) is worth the asking price for all three games. I'm only an hour away. So tempting, but we're clearing our place up for sale. Maybe they'll fit in the storage unit we're getting. :D

But seriously, three project cabs is not enticing at all for me. Great deal for someone close though.

Well, I tried... I emailed the seller and told him I'd use the buy it now and pay right away, but I needed him to hold the cabs until the end of January (my job is crazy right now, I won't have any real free time to pick them up until then) if that was okay. He is understandably worried about liability, holding cabs that are already paid for. He said he'd let me know, but I'm not holding my breath. As Jess said, this will be a good deal for someone.
 
Liability? Wouldn't he just refund your money if the house burned down or something? If he has the cash in hand I don't understand that. Now if he just wants them out now....that I understand!

Well, I think he's worried about me backing out of the deal before I pick them up, or backing out when I actually see them in person. I traded a few emails with him, and he said they look better in the pics than they do in person. He also made it clear that they "need fixing". I explained to him that I was aware of all that, but I get the vibe that he just doesn't want to deal with holding the cabs for me. He mentioned he had some offers to part them out, so maybe thats the route he'll go.
 
Well parting them would be a sad fate. Hope someone here goes and grabs them. I bet if you showed up with $150 he'd be happy to hand them over.
 
I decided to try and grab these since my son went nuts for Outrun and Strider. I got the typical "I've just had so many offers...." response from him so I replied that I have cash, I can come tomorrow and I'm not looking to pay below his asking price. He told me someone was coming for Outrun and Enduro on Monday and a guy in France wanted him to ship the Strider parts. So to sum it up, he'll most likely get flaked on Monday because 99% of those "I'll see you Monday!!!" people don't show up and He'll rip Strider apart, ship with a bunch of cash out of his pocket and either have PayPal reverse the transaction or the fake check he got bounces. I hate when people go for the two in the bush scenerio instead of my solid offer.

Yeah there's a good chance you will still end up with it. But....Strider was apparently huge in Europe and quite valuable there. At least that's what I found when I was selling mine several years ago. I had a lot of offers from overseas including someone who wanted me to ship the whole game over there.

I just see him getting flaked on and burned, I'm sure we've all dealt with Craigslist enough to know how often that happens. The problem is I won't be able to pick it up till mid week anyway so I'm sure I won't end up with them. He could have had them out of his house this morning with cash in his hand too.
